O C C U L Ō "the past will never leave you." *A PRIVATE ROLEPLAY OF DECAY AND GIN. [table=class: outer_border, align: center] [tr] [td] OCCULŌ /ˈɔk.kʊ.ɫoː/ (v.) to hide, conceal, and cover[/td] [/tr] [/table] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// [table=align:left] [tr] [td][/td][/tr][/table][table=align:right][tr][td] RHONEN MAURO (207) The alpha of a notorious pack called The Lost Ones that has resided in Yokohama, Japan since the early 1990's. Rhonen is an effective leader who lays down guidelines for his own to follow and wields a stern voice over them, his subordinates are very loyal to him. The pack is like family to one another, they need each other and this has made Rhonen hold relationships important to himself because a werewolf is doomed to die without kin. He has a sense of duty to keep werewolves from under a vampires thumb, he wants to build a large community of his kind and while he doesn't have a goal to eliminate the vampire species - an impossible and illogical idea - he will kill or harm any that pose a threat to his own kind. Rhonen can be somewhat inconsiderate of others, he doesn't concern himself with the well-being of others unless they are somehow his own responsibility but even then he can be a little insensitive. He can be judgmental of others, he's also stubborn to boot so it takes effort for him to change his mindset on an individual. But Rhonen is very honest and direct towards individuals, he doesn't like manipulating the truth and rather be frank even if the truth could hurt someone. He believes that hearing the truth is much more easier than having someone toy with your emotions but even if he's honest Rhonen still has secrets to keep. He's a person who takes full responsibility of his duties and actions, so that means he also takes on the responsibility of the failures that comes with it and blames himself brutally. ISTJ "The Logistician" Smokes cigarettes on a daily basis & has a tattoo on his lower back. Yokohama used to be a Vampire dominant territory until Rhonen arrived, leading his pack into a battle over Yokohama. Now Yokohama is home to Werewolves but the Vampires still have Tokyo. Enhanced reflexes, durability, strength, senses, and healing factors. [/td][/tr][/table] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// NAIVE. Rhonen Mauro, notorious gang leader of a pack of wolves, was once young, inexperienced, and never had to worry about being cautious around others because he lacked the knowledge that beings are deceitful things that care only about themselves but most importantly his hands were clean. Everyone, at one point in their life, thought that the world was fair to everyone and that all people had hearts of gold, some having this mindset for too long and some sadly too short. At one point a person is hit in the face with a dose of reality, a simple truth that the world was a cruel place where fairness never once existed and that the people who ran the world played dirty. Rhonen was one of those people who GREW UP too early, saw the ugly part of world at an age that made others say, he grew up too fast, what a shame, and then adjusted as best he could like the rest. But the world keeps turning, day turns to night and night turns to day. Rhonen would never think that growing up so quickly was a bad thing though, it was inevitable that he'd learn one day so learning earlier on wasn't ultimately a bad thing. He adapted, the world was an ugly place full of danger and if he kept an unrealistic view of the world then he'd surely perish. Like Darwin's theory, survival of the fittest. He was cautious around others, never trusting and somewhat cynical as others would say but he saw this as being knowledgeable and as logical thinking. Rhonen knew that people were selfish, they only did things that benefited themselves and he wasn't blaming them, he knew he was the same because everyone lived for themselves and their own sake. Most people would argue that people do care for other people's sake, they'd point out that people fall in love and cherish their lovers. Rhonen could admit that he had that privilege of finding love or what he thought was love, it was one of the most happiest times in his life. He understood that living for another individual was absolute bliss and feeling that he wasn't alone because he had someone, it was incredible to think that. But love did not last for Rhonen, his heart was broken because of reasons he won't speak of. Rhonen doesn't blame or criticize people who still have faith in people, he had thought that once too and just maybe he doesn't have the strength like those other people do. It's possible that giving up on people is much more easier than believing in them. Rhonen's story is a cliche, he fell in love with a man that he adored and that man ended turning out to be someone else than he originally thought. There were other mistakes made along the way and the most good they did him was make him learn from these mistakes but also close himself off. IT'S ALL IN THE PAST NOW. Leaning against a brick wall, a lit cigarette wedged between his lips, and a hand resting inside one of his pockets, Rhonen with his dark eyes observed the activity of the night. Being the alpha of a pack of werewolves meant that he rarely had time to be completely alone, there were people who counted on him and responsibilities that he needed to uphold so most of his time was consumed by others along with his duties as leader but he wasn't complaining. Though there were brief moments where he could slip away, wander the streets of Yokohama and smoke a few cigarettes in peace. His dreads sometimes falling to cover one side of his face then he'd repeatedly brush the locks back. The dark skinned male was slightly startled by the vibrations in his back pocket, he stood up stright and reached in his pocket to grab his phone. "Yeah?" -- Boss! We need you back at the garage, so can you head over now? Silence never lasted long but he wasn't complaining, he enjoyed having responsibilities even if he complained a little because it meant he was in charge. "I'm finished with my walk anyway, I'll head there now." Rhonen closed his phone and slipped it back into his pocket, he grabbed the cigarette between his lips and a cloud of smoke left his mouth. He took a minute to enjoy the cigarette before throwing it to the ground and stepping on the lit bud and turning around to leave the area.
